The original composition was created in 1815 by Austrian composer Franz Shubertbut the score was not printed until 1845, 17 years after Shubert’s death. The work is noted for the beauty of its simplicity that nonetheless conveys contemplative intensity.

The choir will also perform “Jubilate Deo” by 17th century composer Johan Helmich Roman, a Stockholm-born contemporary of J. S. Bach. Soloists include Katie Knudsen and Henry Vasquez from Fresno Master Chorale and Joe Vigil, a member of Coro Solare. Instrumental accompaniment will be by professional string quintet and keyboard.

Included on the concert is the Adagio from “Piano Sonata #2” by Coro Solare member Ken Elias.

Coro Solare is an afternoon choir formed for, but not limited to, adult singers. The newest ensemble formed under the growing Fresno Community Chorus, the choir gives less experienced singers the opportunity to meet other enthusiasts and share their excitement for classical choral works.

Singers come from Visalia, Auberry, Coarsegold, Madera, Coalinga, Selma, Dinuba, Squaw Valley, Clovis, and Fresno. Fresno Community Chorus and Coro Solare express tremendous appreciation to College Community Church Mennonite Brethren for their support.

Through the pursuit of art and the exploration of ideas, we artists and humanists fuel our instinct to positively impact our world with our creative processes. “Know Thyself,” the famous aphorism inscribed at Delphi that was later made famous by Socrates, reflects the artist’s and humanist’s desire to paint, sculpt, film, photograph, act, dance, compose… ideas become shapes, feelings turn into melodies, concepts inspire reflection. A camera angle explores emotions and builds suspense; a reporter speaks truth and forges community ties; a speechwriter finds the right words to convey the significance of democracy, justice, and dignity; an educator leads her students in understanding the value of centuries-old questions that still illuminate our quest to form a more perfect society.
